Census Geography Overview Porirua City Geography Census geography overview Census data is available at a variety of different geographic levels such as State, Capital City, Local Government Area, Suburb and Postal Area. These areas are created by aggregating smaller units of geography together into a 'best fit'. The boundaries available from the ABS rarely match actual 'communities', 'suburbs' or 'service catchments' needed for effective decision making, and even if they do, they are seldom available on the same geographic basis over time, making it very difficult to identify trends in population characteristics based on meaningful areas. Standard output from the ABS is on the basis of the Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS). This has applied in 2011 and 2016 Censuses. For previous Censuses (2006 and earlier) the base building block was called a Census Collection District. Census Collection Districts aggregated to Local Government Areas. Local Government Areas are available from the 2011 and 2016 Census output. They are created by aggregating SA1s. However, these SA1s do not sum exactly to Local Government boundaries, making geographic breakdowns problematic, and time series even more difficult. profile.id resolves all these issues to create a meaningful geography that can be analysed over a long time-period. Porirua City geography This profile provides Census data for the Porirua City broken down into small areas based on customised suburbs/localities. For the 1991, 1996, 2001 and 2006 Census years these small areas are created by aggregating Census Collection Districts. For the 2011 and 2016 Censuses they are created by aggregating Statistical Area Level 1 and other smaller geographic units. Where SA1s or CDs do not fit exactly into a suburb or locality boundary, estimates are made in each Census year of the number of dwellings to be included. These estimates use satellite photography, dwelling counts, planning schemes, and street directories to determine what percentage of each SA1 or CD to include in the suburb. This means that regardless of the Census year, and the changes in ABS output boundaries, the data presented in profile.id exactly matches the suburb/locality boundary. This provides the most accurate population information for suburbs and localities and a meaningful time series for the current geography.

NOTE: The geography in the Community Profile tables may not match the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) SA2, state suburb or postal area boundaries, which are based on aggregation of whole SA1s and are not comparable to previous Census years. See About the profile areas for information on specific geographic areas. Census geography The SSGA18 is New Zealand’s new official statistical geographic area standard. The framework enables statistical entities or units (e.g. dwellings, people or businesses) to be linked to the location where they are placed, live or work. All the data Stats NZ collects is referenced to a specific place and time. Place can be any geography (e.g. city, lake, township or region), and the point of developing statistical geographical standards is to be able to consistently and accurately identify the size of change as well as where change occurs. In 2018, the SSGA18 underwent its first major review since 1989. The new boundaries are designed to reflect current land use and spatial patterns. Privacy is still a pivotal requirement for Stats NZ, but the new geographies will also enable more finely grained information at the smaller area level. The new statistical geographies are: 1. meshblock 2. statistical area 1 (SA1) 3. statistical area 2 (SA2) 4. urban rural areas Meshblocks in NZ our smallest geography ideally around 30–60 dwellings (around 60–120 residents) identified by a seven-digit code 53,589 in total cover New Zealand and extend out to sea to cover NZ’s 200 nautical mile exclusive economic zone (EEZ) SA1 geography in NZ (Statistical area 1) a new output geography ideally around 100–200 residents (maximum 500) identified by a seven-digit number starting with 7 Source: Australian Bureau of Statistics, Census of Population and Housing 2011.

The Community Profile provides population data for the Porirua City and associated suburbs/localities, aggregated from Meshblocks for the Census years: 2018, 2013, and 2006. Historically meshblocks and Census area Units (CAUs) were used to collect Census data. The 2018 SA2 SA1 level geography framework heralded in many boundary changes. To enable time series comparison Statistics NZ have concorded the older 2013 and 2006 datasets to the most current boundaries. To be shown individually in this profile, SA2s must have a minimum population of 500 people in every Census year. Occasionally an SA2 population is under 500 – when this occurs the SA2 is amalgamated with a similar neighbouring SA2. This avoids any complications caused by confidentiality rules imposed by Statistics NZ. The SA2 are designed to match official suburb/locality boundaries as close as possible, and represent geographic areas which people can relate to on the ground.

  • PLIMMERTON FARM SUBMISSION | K BEAMSLEY Page 1
    PLIMMERTON FARM – PLAN CHANGE PROPOSAL Supporting Documentation View from Submitters Property Karla and Trevor Beamsley 24 Motuhara Road Plimmerton PLIMMERTON FARM SUBMISSION | K BEAMSLEY Page 1 1. INTRODUCTION The village of Plimmerton is a northern suburb of Porirua, and is surrounded to the North and East by farmland. It represents the edge of existing residential dwellings. Generally existing homes are stand-alone dwellings on lots greater than 500m² in size. Most residents within Plimmerton and Camborne either commute into Wellington city or work from home. The demand for housing in this area is from professional couples or families looking for 3 – 4 bedroom family homes on a section with space for kids to run around in, not medium or high density three-storey buildings and apartments, this is reflected in the TPG report to PCC (Dec 2019). Medium density style townhouses, or apartments would be totally out of character of the surrounding residential areas, and would present a stark contrast to the remaining rural areas which bound the site. The Plimmerton Farm site is not located close to areas of high employment, nor is it close to local amenities like the main shopping areas of Porirua. The site is also not located within an area currently supported by existing infrastructure. Much of the infrastructure in the area is aging, and requires repair or upgrade to support existing demands. Therefore, the idea that Plimmerton Farm would provide homes in a location close to employment, amenities and infrastructure1 is simply incorrect in terms of a 10-year time frame. Areas where this would be true include the currently developing areas of Aotea, Whitby, Kenepuru, and Porirua East.

Summary of Findings Population and projections (2018 Census) ● Population: The WCT region is home to around 469,047 people, or 9.8% of New Zealand’s population. It has five territorial authority areas. Two thirds of the people in the WCT region reside in two of these five areas – Wellington City (45%) and Lower Hutt City (22%). Porirua has 12% of the WCT population, followed by 11% in Kapiti Coast District and 9% in Upper Hutt City. ● Population projection: The WCT region’s population will increase by 11% by 2038. Projected population growth in the region is lower than the projected New Zealand average (20%). This means that by 2038, the WCT region is projected to represent a slightly reduced 9.0% of New Zealand’s population. ● Ethnicity: Porirua (22%) and Lower Hutt (10%) have populations with the highest proportion of Pacific Peoples in the WCT region. Both areas also have the populations with the highest proportion of Māori (18% and 16% respectively). Population projections show that Māori and Pacific communities will grow further in proportion in these two areas by 2038.

My name is John Christopher Horne. 2. I was asked to assess the potential effects of the proposal on recreational use in the area. I have restricted my consideration to use by walkers and runners, as I do not have relevant expertise in relation to mountain biking, kayaking, angling and other recreational uses. 3. I do not have a formal qualification relevant to this area of expertise. 4. I have extensive experience in undertaking and managing recreational activities in the area. I am involved in two organisations that provide support for recreational activities, the Tararua Tramping Club, and Wellington Botanical Society (WBS). 5. I have participated in WBS field trips in: • the bush block, Battle Hill Farm Forest Park • Cannons Creek Covenant, Belmont Regional Park/Waitangirua Farm. 6. I have led numerous tramps across Belmont Regional Park, between the Hutt Valley and Porirua Basin. Each of these traverses have involved crossing the Waitangirua Farm section of Belmont Regional Park, using one of the following routes across the designation for the proposed TGP: • Track over pasture from Cannons Head, 390 m, in the headwaters of Cannons Creek, to near Takapu Road sub-station, then on old farm road through regenerating forest to the west side of Cannons Creek Covenant, then on an old farm road to the Cannons Creek Lakes, and footpath to Warspite , Waitangirua.

Box 756, Wellington 6140, New Zealand; [email protected] (K.L.); c.haenfl[email protected] (C.H.); [email protected] (A.S.); [email protected] (H.M.); [email protected] (D.R.); [email protected] (B.B.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Social vulnerability indicators are a valuable tool for understanding which population groups are more vulnerable to experiencing negative impacts from disasters, and where these groups live, to inform disaster risk management activities. While many approaches have been used to measure social vulnerability to natural hazards, there is no single method or universally agreed approach. This paper proposes a novel approach to developing social vulnerability indicators, using the example of flooding in Aotearoa New Zealand. A conceptual framework was developed to guide selection of the social vulnerability indicators, based on previous frameworks (including the MOVE framework), consideration of climate change, and a holistic view of health and wellbeing. Using this framework, ten dimensions relating to social vulnerability were identified: exposure; children; Citation: Mason, K.; Lindberg, K.; older adults; health and disability status; money to cope with crises/losses; social connectedness; Haenfling, C.; Schori, A.; Marsters, H.; knowledge, skills and awareness of natural hazards; safe, secure and healthy housing; food and water Read, D.; Borman, B.
